INTRODUCTION
This market research report analyzes the global market and developments in
municipal and industrial wastewater sludge treatment equipment and
wastewater/sludge-based odor control equipment. Sludge treatment describes
the processes used to manage and dispose of the solid or semi-solid products
produced during municipal sewage treatment and industrial wastewater
treatment. Despite representing only about 1% of total wastewater flows,
sludge handling accounts for up to 50% of total treatment plant operating
costs. Some industry participants estimate that the sludge treatment market
represents more than 20% of the total water equipment market.
Because of safety and nuisance issues, odor control has come to play an
increasingly important role in the treatment and disposal of sludge and
biosolids that accumulate during wastewater plant processes.
As noted in the Global Atlas of Excreta, Wastewater Sludge, and Biosolids
Management: Moving Forward the Sustainable and Welcome Uses of a Global
Resource, a 2008 study by the Greater Moncton Sewerage Commission and the
United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat), several major premises
apply to wastewater, sludge, and biosolids.
The creation of wastewater in human communities is inevitable.
History shows a common progression toward global improvement of wastewater
treatment and wastewater sludge management.
The progression appears to be inevitable.
Once such systems are established and they are protecting humans from the
immediate threat from waste-borne pathogens, focus inevitably shifts toward
the effects of wastewater on other human communities downstream and on the
natural environment and other organisms.
Eventually, as wastewater treatment systems are able to reduce all forms
of wastewater contamination by 90% or greater, the volume of wastewater
solids, sewage sludge, becomes significant and requires careful management. In
much of Europe, North America, Japan and other developed urban areas around
the world, sludge management has become a major focus. In many places, it is
the most debated challenge in the sanitation field.
At the same time developed countries address the challenges of sludge
management, approximately 2.6 billion people lack access to basic sanitation.
Inevitably, the progress made by less-developed communities in coming years to
improve human health and safety will lead to the generation of more wastewater
sludge that requires management.
The continuing refinement of best management practices for excreta,
wastewater, sludge and biosolids must eventually provide sustainable solutions
that work in a diversity of locations and situations around the globe, are
energy- and cost-efficient, minimize transfers of potentially hazardous
constituents to the environment, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and ensure
healthy, natural ecosystems.
Access to sanitation varies widely around the world. In sub-Saharan Africa
and parts of Asia and Central and South America, wastewater treatment systems,
if they exist, are minimal or function poorly. In these regions, basic
sanitation is the primary need.
In Eastern Europe, Turkey, the Russian Federation, Mexico, South America and
other areas, wastewater treatment is more advanced, but wastewater sludge and
biosolids management has not been practiced previously. As sludge volumes
from a rising number of treatment facilities grows, a more complex regulatory
framework and improved sludge handling technologies will be required.
In North America, Europe, Australia and certain Asian countries, there is more
focus on improving the management of wastewater sludge and biosolids. In
these regions, wastewater typically is treated at the secondary or tertiary
level and both biosolids technologies and regulatory systems are complex.
In all world regions where advanced wastewater treatment results in increasing
volumes of sludge, water quality professionals, engineers, scientists,
agricultural experts and government regulators are applying and refining
processes to improve efficiencies, reduce the potential negative impacts and
maximize the beneficial reuse aspects of sludge treatment and biosolids
handling.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This BCC Research report provides an in-depth analysis of the global sludge
treatment and odor control equipment market, including systems for sludge
digestion, sludge dewatering, sludge drying and physical, chemical and
biological odor control technologies.
Overviews of each segment are presented. These include current issues
affecting the industry, equipment types, legislation relevant to the markets
and end user requirements. Market sizes for each segment are estimated for
the years 2005 to 2012. Growth forecasts, as compound annual growth rates,
are made to 2017. Valuations are calculated in current U.S. dollars.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Wastewater and sludge are produced continually, and pollutants present in the
wastes never completely disappear. With each passing year, global volumes of
sludge increase and potentially contain heavy metals, organic industrial
chemicals, agricultural chemicals, oil and grease and miscellaneous hazardous
pollutants, such as medical wastes. Sometimes, it emits a disagreeable odor
that requires abatement.
Harmful and toxic residues in sludge can be reduced via sludge treatment
equipment and, increasingly, these systems enable the beneficial reuse of
sludge in a safe and economically way. Various types of treatment equipment
also allow odors associated with wastewater solids to be controlled.
This report is intended for those who desire an analysis of the global sludge
treatment and odor control equipment markets. The document seeks to quantify
the various markets, forecast market trends, trace significant developments
and profile companies that are active in the various market sectors. The
report contains information and conclusions that are unique, insightful and
have a forward-thinking knowledge of the subject that should be of interest to
manufacturers, suppliers and local, state and government entities.
SCOPE OF REPORT
The report examines the market for three categories of sludge treatment
equipment and three categories of odor control equipment.
These are:
Sludge digestion.
Sludge dewatering.
Sludge drying.
Physical odor control equipment.
Chemical odor control equipment.
Biological odor control equipment.
The study also provides information on:
The emerging and alternative technologies in these markets.
Industry structure.
Five-year projections of market activity.
Pricing trends and technological trends.
Research and development activity.
Governmental legislation.
Competitive structure and company profiles.

METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this
report. Research for this technical/marketing report began with an analysis
of available technical and business literature related to sludge treatment.
Conversations with industry experts and company representatives provide the
backbone for the analysis.
Both primary and secondary research methods were used in this research study.
Internet, literature and patent searches were undertaken, and key industry
participants were queried. Growth rates for each market were calculated based
on expected revenues from sales of process equipment during the forecast
period. Values and forecasts are given in current U.S. dollars. Construction,
engineering and design costs are excluded in market size calculations.
